You forgot to mention that Nixon, Kerry and Fonda all worked hand in hand. All 3 turned their backs on the silent majority. Nixon killed as many as Johnson did. All followed Eisnenhowers lead in getting us involved in Viet Nam. I am sick of hearing about Viet Nam. I served over there under Johnson and Nixon. There was no difference. Both wanted to get out. And Kerry and Fonda etc couldn't agree more. Pox on them all!

While left-wing anti-war critics of U.S. policy in Vietnam were always quick to invoke Auschwitz and the Nazis in discussing alleged American atrocities, they were silent about Hue City, where a month and a half before My Lai, the North Vietnamese and VC systematically murdered 3,000 people. They were also willing to excuse Pol Pot's mass murderer of upwards of a million Cambodians.

How familiar does this sound? Today it's Bush is a Nazi despite the years of atrocities in Iraq. How perfect, Kerry is a man of old, tired ideas, looking for traction by lying and misrepresenting the truth.

I received it in an email from a retired military guy who told me it's being circulated around active and retired military!

Very good; because the only people that can take him on concerning this issue are former Vets. Those who never served might as well keep quiet on this one, because without having walked the walk they appear inferior, facile chickenhawks.

Clinton wasn't done in by dodging the draft, that POT, and Kerry sure as hell won't be done in for his post war activities unless those who sweated blood, like him, do him in.

My hope is that they do, because he did try to lift himself up by slandering our boys, so as far as I'm concerned he deserves whatever they serve him.

If (Kerry) believes his 1971 indictment of his country and his fellow veterans was true, then he couldn't possibly be proud of his Vietnam service. Who can be proud of committing war crimes of the sort that Kerry recounted in his 1971 testimony?

Kerry is a slithering opportunist, trying to have it both ways.

He shouldn't be allowed to have it either way!

"In fact, the entire Winter Soldiers Investigation was a lie. It was inspired by Mark Lane's 1970 book entitled Conversations with Americans, which claimed to recount atrocity stories by Vietnam veterans."

This would be the same ultra leftwing KGB stooge, Mark Lane, who brought us the Kennedy assassination conspracy.

"For instance, documents smuggled out of Russia by Vasilii Mitrokhin, a former KGB archivist, suggest that the KGB secretly subsidized the work of Mark Lane"

Another acquaintance who talked to Kerry about his political ambitions called him a 'very charismatic fellow looking for a good issue.'

The same was said of Jane Fonda early on in the Vietnam experience. She and Kerry both had an agenda of sorts and both were trying to exploit it in some fashion. Jane Fonda was described as an empty vessel searching for a cargo to transport ... she was successful to some extent.
